A state-of-the-art submarine cable connecting Pakistan with Africa was activated today, heralding a new era of faster and more reliable internet services in the country. The high-capacity cable is part of an international effort to enhance global connectivity, offering unprecedented data transfer speeds and lower latency.
The project is expected to significantly improve Pakistan’s internet infrastructure, benefiting businesses, educational institutions, and millions of internet users nationwide. This development is particularly crucial as Pakistan continues its digital transformation, with rising demands for high-speed connectivity in e-commerce, remote work, and online education.
According to the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication, the cable will not only boost internet speeds but also provide a more resilient network, reducing the risk of service interruptions caused by existing cable dependencies.
Industry experts have hailed the move as a step toward positioning Pakistan as a regional digital hub, bridging gaps in connectivity and fostering technological growth. With the new cable operational, the country is set to experience a more vibrant and efficient online ecosystem, paving the way for further digital advancements.
